Got my new bike (Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike – 2013)
I am so happy. Today I drove down to Rutland Cycling to get Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike bike. So far I am very pleased with it. So far only done a very short 5 mile cycle on it. I was hoping to do a longer cycle. But it took me a good 30 minutes. Just to take the pedals off. So I could put my clipless pedals on it. But I am sure the bike and my bum, will soon get to know each other very well indeed!!

Also can’t remember when I last got myself a new sexy Lyca skinsuit, so it was about time I got a new one. Plus after not having a bike in over a week. I need something to help cheer me up!!
